¤ we have started sharing a few themes ahead of time, to give you all some time to play.

¤ we have less photos shared to the pool...

¤ we (read i ) have wondered why...

¤ i have gone through the recap post i did last december about what i have learned from this project and stuff i wanted to change and i think i have done what i wanted to do this year...is there anything i can do to make you post more often?

i see that since we started sharing themes ahead of time seems to make you post 2 or more photos at one time, which is totally ok ofcourse. but it might be fun to see everyones interpretation of each theme on thursdays. any thought on that?

we have had a few themed weeks now at write click scrapbook. and this week it is all about Project Life! i got to start the week by showing and talking about my PL album, process and thoughts.

here is abit of what i shared over at wcs!

I love that I started this project. First I was afraid that this would mean I wouldn´t make my ordinary scrapbooking layouts, but that has not been the case. On the contrary, I have been able to go back to see which stories I have scrabooked or not by just flipping through my Project Life album.

I haven´t fallen behind (yet!) but one thing I have been struggling with is the plain and ordinary weeks when nothing special has happened. Don´t get me wrong, I LOVE to record the everyday, but I like to have a twist on that somehow. My solution has been to focus on a few particular things those weeks, meals, books, the weather etc.

The thing I love the very most about how this project has affected my life, is that my husband and daughter also contribute to the album. By sending me their phone photos I can include events where I wasn´t attending. I love that! I have also asked my daughter to journal about her weekends etc.

I did super quick layout for week 15. it was just such an ordinary week for us (which is ok and good with me and i am all for documenting the everyday!), but this week the weekend was really the big thing.

the first page looks much like my regular layout for a week.

we got a photo of melvin as a puppy which is so cute. my husband and i got ourselves new computers and it was so funny to see us all sitting at the diningroom table working away!

i included my 12 photos for the Take Twelve challenge on one 6x4 card! i used a pre setting on my printer and this came out! i am super happy to be able to share TWELVE photos without having to make an insert in this album!

now, for the weekend. you can read more about that in my magic monday post. i printed 9 photos pn just a A4 paper and slipped it into a page protector. i then made a pocket for the one 6x4 photo you see laying ontop of the others.

i wrote about out getaway on a journalingcard that you can see when you life the pocket. and that is it.

i´ll see if i will somehow work that big A4 page protector into my week 16 spread or do something else, since it is not the format i usually use for my spreads.

for the love of everyday

" Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn rom you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while i may, for it may not always be so. One day i shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all in the world, your return.
